I once read somewhere "when we travel, magical things can happen" and now I can tell you.. yes it's truth, anything can happen - even meet an actor you really admires!
I stayed almost a whole week passing by Regent street and Oxford Circus st. and even passed by Noel st. to go at Liberty's store, just walking you know.. looking more at the Architecture of the buildings around me than the Fashion of the windows.
It was only on Saturday when - arriving home early because of the very cold weather - watching the Graham show I saw that Sylvester Stallone was in London to promote his new movie with Robert De Niro "Grundge Match" and thought .. If Stallone is here, I can see him! So I googled "Stallone in London" and it appeared: "an evening with Sylvester Stallone" today (January 11)! 7:30pm and it was already 5pm!
OMG! And guess where it would be? At a theater in the middle of the streets I spent the whole week passing by! As if something was drawing me there, wanting to tell me.. well.. you know...
So I run out , in the best Gonna fly now style and made ​​it there just in time to buy one of the last entry ticket... yes there was just 2 more seats available.. phew!
By the way, another catch phrase fits here "when something has to happen, all the universe conspires to make it happen"!
I don't know if it was luck, fate or coincidence, I just know that I met Sly ... the actor, director and writer that inspired me and still inspires me so much with the moral lessons of Rocky Balboa ..

"In everyone's life there's going to be about 3 or 4 crossroads and
that's going to determine your course. I knew if we took the money I
could have been very happy, no question. But I would've hated myself.
They said we don't want you, we'll take you but they had about five
clauses in there so they could fire me in the first week." Falando sobre o roteiro que escreveu de "Rocky" (1976), que os produtores queriam comprar e que, mesmo precisando muito do dinheiro ele foi firme em sua decisão de não vender - uma vez que o papel do lutador era quase auto-biográfico e a única pessoa que poderia interpretá-lo era ele mesmo!
